Roger Ebert is a sarcastic genius

Some of these people make my skin crawl. The characters of "Sex and the City 2" are flyweight bubbleheads living in a world which rarely requires three sentences in a row. Their defining quality is consuming things. They gobble food, fashion, houses, husbands, children, vitamins and freebies. They must plan their wardrobes on the phone, so often do they appear in different basic colors, like the plugs you pound into a Playskool workbench.

It doesn't slow down from there. My favorite thing about this movie is the contempt and sarcasm that it inspires in Mr. Ebert.
